Today, we are living in a generation of unprecedented achievements in the area of science and research, with many new discoveries and new inventions. Things that were never conceived before are now coming to pass – driverless cars, immediate connectivity to anywhere in the world.
Medical science too has proceeded very much since the days of Hippocrates (in Greece), Hua Tuo (in China) or Suśruta (in India). In the present world, there is abundance of highly advanced medical tools, huge variety of pharmaceutical drugs and synthetic or extracted supplements meant to replace what we lack in our body. Despite this, why are we not able to arrest the disease rate globally?
Globally today, these are the astoundingly gloomy health statistics:
Cancers is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with approximately 14 million new cases and 8.2 million cancer related deaths in 2012. The number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70% over the next 2 decades.
The number of adults living with diabetes has almost quadrupled since 1980 to 422 million adults.
In 2008, worldwide, approximately 40% of adults aged 25 and above had been diagnosed with hypertension (or high blood pressure).
We need to be very clear on the role of medical advancement, it can help us to prolong life. However, it doesn’t help us in maintaining quality of life, isn’t it?
So who can help us maintain or even better our health translating to our quality of life? Who is our Best Doctor?
